Dorchester, MA – Shawmut Design and Construction joined Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, representatives from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Bowdoin Street Health Center, and other elected officials on May 12 for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new 4,100sf Wellness Center at the Bowdoin Street Health Center at 230 Bowdoin Street.
Shawmut’s scope of work included a third-floor addition, as well a 1,700sf renovation of the existing facility. The team renovated clinical and support spaces and created additional examination rooms, an exercise studio, weight room, physical therapy room, and demonstration kitchen. The new Wellness Center will better serve the needs of the community by promoting healthy lifestyles.
This completion represents the latest in Shawmut’s healthcare and life sciences work, with recent projects at Boston Medical Center’s Moakley Building, Codman Square Health Center, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. The firm’s expanding healthcare and life sciences division experienced 667% growth over 2013 and 2014.
